How can I access Blackfish for Windows over JDBC?

Question

For Blackfish for Windows which is included in Delphi 2009 I would like to write a Java client and use a JDBC connection. If I understand correctly, this is supported: http://edn.embarcadero.com/de/article/36851

The database clients and servers are interchangeable. Windows clients can connect to Java servers and Java clients can connect to Windows servers.

Where can I find the JDBC driver for Blackfish?

Many thanks for the download link for the JDBC driver. License question: Do I have to purchase a Blackfish version for Java if I only want to use the included JDBC driver to connect with an existing Blackfish for Windows database server? Or can I use the JDBC driver from the trial version free of charge?

Answer 1

The JDBC Drivers are located in the Blackfish SQL lib installation directory.

check theses files

• jds.jar Local JDBC database connectivity
• jdsremote.jar Remote JDBC thin client database connectivity

You can read theses articles

• Blackfish SQL Establishing Connections
• Blackfish SQL Deploying Blackfish SQL Database Applications

UPDATE

You can download and install The Blackfish SQL 8 for Java Trial (Windows Version) wich includes the JDBC Drivers from here.
